Let me tell you of some successes!

1. I am currently passing every portion of my fitness test (run, push-up, sit-up, waist measurement), and I still have 2.5 weeks before the test.

2. I ran a 5k last night in just over 35 minutes. No walking.

3. I ran 5 MILES tonight, with 2 1-minute walks.

4. I can drop to the floor and do push-ups whenever I feel like it, and I don't look like a weakling.

Never would have thought these things would be happening. I enjoy exercise. I also enjoy the endorphins...but mostly, I really love feeling like I'm meeting and BREAKING goals! Again, it's awesome to see "success" as a thing that is NOT measured by a scale.

About Me

I'd had enough of censoring my thoughts and feelings by eating or not eating, so it was time to find out what eating, thoughts, and feelings actually were. So, here I am.
In the real world, I am a generally disgruntled, but somehow still idealistic, music educator. I am also navigating through the beginnings of a long divorce from my roommate, while trying to parent a child with Asperger's Syndrome. Crazy, but true.
